What Is A Computer Program? Software?

• Program = set of instructions that a computer will follow to perform a specific task.

• Software = collection of programs.

• Two types of software:

• System software: used to manage computer hardware to enable us to execute & write application programs/software. Ex. Operating System, Compilers, …etc.

• Application Software: are meant for solving users own problems. Ex. Word processors, database management…etc.

Program Development Cycle:

1. Analyze: Define the problem

2. Design: Plan the solution to the problem

3. Develop the Interface: Select the objects

Program Development Cycle:

4.Code: Translate the algorithm into a programming language.

5. Debug and Test: Locate and remove any errors in the program.

6. Complete the Documentation: Organize all the materials that describe the program

The Software Development Method

1. Specify the problem requirements.

2. Analyze the problem.

3. Design the algorithm to solve the problem.

4. Implement the algorithm.

5. Test and verify the completed program.

6. Maintain and update the program.

What is a flowchart?

• Diagram that visually represents the steps that the program performs to arrive at a solution.

• A popular logic tool used for showing an algorithm in graphical form.

• Programmer draws flowchart before coding.

13

Most common flowchart symbols are:

–Flowline–Terminal–Input/Output–Processing–Decision

Purpose of Flowcharting:

• An aid in developing the logic of a program.• Verification that all possible conditions have

been considered in a program.• Provides means of communication with others

about the program.• A guide in coding the program.• Documentation for the program.

2.5The if Selection Structure

true

false

grade >= 60 print “Passed”

17

Example of Flowchart:Start

Initialize counterand sum to 0

Are there more data?

Get next grade

Increment counter

Add grade to sum

Yes

No

Average=sum/counter

Finish

Exercise

Write a program to process a collection of daily temperatures. Your program should count and print the number of hot days (85 or higher), the number of pleasant days (60 - 84), the number of cold days (less than 60). It should also display the category of each temperature.

18

Exercise

1. Specify the problem requirements

2. Analyze the problem

Input: Output:

temperature

A program is required to process daily temperatures and provide the total number of hot, pleasant, and cold days.

total number of days in each category

3. Design the algorithm to solve the problem

1. Get the temperature.

2. Determine category of that temperature and increment counter for that particular category.

3. Display categories and total number of days that fell under the category.

19

>=85?

Print Hot, Cold, and Pleasant

End

Add 1 to HotYes

Add 1 to ColdYes

<=60?

No

Add 1 to Pleasant

No

Get Temp

Exercise

write a program that reads the number of a hours an employee works and calculate an overtime pay for employees who work more than 40 hours and then display the paycheck.

write a program that reads the name and grade of a student, and displays a note that shows wither the student passed or failed.

write a program that reads the whether temperature In F° and then display it in C°.

write a program that reads three numbers, then displays the sum, the average, and the largest of these numbers.
